Doing SXSW with a Nokia and a TERN

This past weekend I was in Austin, TX, for South by SouthWest, one of my favorite events every year.

Does Nokia Do Windows Phone Better?

As a long-time Nokia fanboy, the minute they announced their shift from Symbian to Windows Phone, I picked up a Windows Phone device, the HTC HD7, to try out this new-fangled system.
